Surprised by MP Takuta Ferris saying he's willing to go into a coalition with National, ACT and NZFirst. One vote wouldn't stop their racism. #NZpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

For me it’s also about this: Nazis will be going to vote. And I’ll be damned if I let their vote be counted while I sit it out. Vulnerable communities depend on us not sitting this out while the people trying to murder them will be participating, and cheering on any of us who sit it out Nope.

How do we decide "who" in a political party to contact about a particular issue on behalf of a group, to let them know about issues a group wants to find out what parties already know about their cause? #nzpol

I've had people (mainly teens/youth) asking where can they get info about what each party offers that isn't spin. I always answer it's not the media. I feel for everyone to be honest - unless bottom lines are clear and easy to understand - it almost doesn't matter what each party individually wants

#NZpol I'd have thought that although many outlets certainly think their paywalls justified, why *so much* of what the public *needs* to know (and in an election period in seems particularly pertinent one would think, given the actual *issue*) is subject to gatekeeping when so much BS fluff isn't 🧐
